\fs32 What is it?
\fs24 \
PresSTORE Media Converter (PMC) is a enhanced preview generator for Archiware's PresSTORE Archive.\
PresSTORE Archive allows you to add custom previews to your archived media files. While this feature is already very useful, the default configuration only\
supports a few media types. However third party preview generators are supported - this is where PMC 3 comes in place. \
\
PMC builds on top of FFmpeg ({\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://ffmpeg.org/"}}{\fldrslt http://ffmpeg.org/}}), ImageMagick ({\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.imagemagick.org/"}}{\fldrslt http://www.imagemagick.org}}), Poppler ({\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://poppler.freedesktop.org/"}}{\fldrslt http://poppler.freedesktop.org/}}) and \
uses node.js ({\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://nodejs.org/"}}{\fldrslt http://nodejs.org/}}) as runtime. With this foundation hundreds of different audio, video and document file types are supported. \
\
For easier administration media type presets are available. \
This allows different tools and workflows configuration (using JSON plain text files). \
\
\

\fs32 Installation on Mac OS X\

\fs24 The easiest way to install PMC including it's dependencies is to use MacPorts.\
\
1.) 	Install the OS X Developer tools ({\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://developer.apple.com/xcode/"}}{\fldrslt https://developer.apple.com/xcode/}}) - including the command line tools\
2.) 	Install MacPorts ({\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.macports.org/"}}{\fldrslt http://www.macports.org/}})\
3.) 	Install the dependencies:\
	Fire up the Terminal application and enter the following two commands:\

\i0 \cf0 	sudo port selfupdate\
	sudo port install nodejs imagemagick ffmpeg +nonfree ufraw yasm
\i \
	
\i0 \
	The installation can take quite long especially on slower machines.\
4.)	Installing PMC\
	cd /\
	sudo git clone https://code.google.com/p/presstore-converter/\
	sudo mkdir /presstore-converter/log\
	sudo chmod 777 /presstore-converter/log\
\
\

\fs32 Installation on other OS\

\fs24 PMC uses node.js as runtime - therefore it should be quite easy to install it on other operating systems - just install the necessary\
helper applications and update the presets to point to the corresponding executable. \
\
Dependencies:\
-	node.js\
-	FFmpeg\
-	ImageMagick\
-	Poppler\
-	Avid MXF support: FFmbc (see the converters/ffmbc folder for installation instructions)\
-	mxflib to convert Avid MXF files to ProRes (see utils/OPAtom folder for installation instructions)\
\
\

\fs32 Setup
\fs24 \
After installing PMC just open the PMC folder and take a look at the "conf" folder. It contains all the configuration files.\
Especially take a look at the presets.js file as it defines all the supported file types and workflows.\
\
Next log into PresSTORE's Administration Interface and open the Archive Plan you want to add PMC to. To finish the setup\
add a new Preview Generator with your desired configuration.\
